More Information

Not Found

No
The summary describes a simple cutaneous electrode for recording and stimulating electrical signals, with no mention of AI or ML capabilities.

No
The device is described as an electrode for recording or stimulating during diagnostic studies (EMG, NCS, EP recordings), which are used for diagnosis, not therapy.

Yes
The device is used for electromyographic (EMG), Nerve Conduction Studies (NCS), and Evoked Potentials (EP) recordings, all of which are diagnostic procedures used to assess neurological and muscular function.

No

The device is described as a "Cutaneous (Bar) Electrode," which is a physical hardware component used for recording or stimulating during medical procedures. The summary does not mention any software component.

Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states that the device is for "non-invasive use as a recording (active/reference) or stimulating electrode during electromyographic (EMG), Nerve Conduction Studies(NCS), and Evoked Potentials (EP) recordings." These are procedures performed on the patient's body to measure electrical activity, not tests performed on samples taken from the patient's body.
  • IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are medical devices intended for use in vitro for the examination of specimens, including blood, tissue, and urine, from the human body to provide information for diagnostic, monitoring, or compatibility purposes.

The description of the device's function aligns with a device used for physiological measurement in vivo (on a living organism), not for testing samples in vitro (in a lab setting).

Re: K991769 Trade Name: Cutaneous (Bar) Electrode K991770 Trade Name: Cutaneous Ground Electrode K991771 Trade Name: Digital Ring Electrode K991772 Trade Name: Cutaneous (Disc) Electrode Regulatory Class: II Product Code: GXY Dated: May 21, 1999 Received: May 24, 1999

Dear Mr. Luich:

We have reviewed your Section 510(k) notification of intent to market the devices referenced above and we have determined the devices are substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to devices marketed in interstate commerce prior to May 28, 1976, the enactment date of the Medical Device Amendments, or to devices that have been reclassified in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (Act). You may, therefore, market the devices, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. The general controls provisions of the Act include requirements for annual registration, listing of devices, good manufacturing practice, labeling, and prohibitions against misbranding and adulteration.

If your devices are classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (Premarket Approval), they may be subject to such additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your devices can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 895. A substantially equivalent determination assumes compliance with the current Good Manufacturing Practice requirement, as set forth in the Quality System Regulation (OS) for Medical Devices: General regulation (21 CFR Part 820) and that, through periodic (QS) inspections, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) will verify such assumptions. Failure to comply with the GMP regulation may result in regulatory action. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your devices in the Federal Register. Please note: this response to your premarket notification submission does not affect any obligation you might have under sections 531 through 542 of the Act for devices under the Electronic Product Radiation Control provisions, or other Federal laws or regulations.

Page 2 - Mr. Ronald Luich, PE

This letter will allow you to begin marketing your devices as described in your 510(k) premarket notification. The FDA finding of substantial equivalence of your devices to a legally marketed predicate device results in a classification for your devices and thus, permits your devices to proceed to the market.

If you desire specific advice for your devices on our labeling regulation (21 CFR Part 801 and additionally 809.10 for in vitro diagnostic devices), please contact the Office of Compliance at (301) 594-4595. Additionally, for questions on the promotion and advertising of your devices, please contact the Office of Compliance at (301) 594-4639. Also, please note the regulation entitled, "Misbranding by reference to premarket notification" (21 CFR 807.97). Other general information on your responsibilities under the Act may be obtained from the Division of Small Manufacturers Assistance at its toll-free number (800) 638-2041 or (301) 443-6597 or at its internet address "http://www.fda.gov/cdrh/dsmamain.html".
